Job Description

This role is crucial in making sure our shops get all of the items they have ordered so that they can give our loyal Greggs customers a great customer service.

This is a physically demanding role as the manual handling of boxes, picking and packing of cages and the pushing and pulling of cages are also an integral part of the role. Working as part of a great team, you’ll have a good eye for detail, and work with the best systems to ensure full pick accuracy. You’ll ensure our trucks are at the right temperature ready to load and products are loaded in to the correct compartment for chill, ambient or frozen.

All this hard work will help our Drivers to get on with their vehicle checks, and on the road to maximise as much delivery time as they can.
